Youtube Is Wrapping Your Year In Videos

Watch a lot of AI robot fail videos on YouTube? Have “Baby Shark Dance” on a loop to entertain your child while you work from home? Those viewing habits will inform your Recap, YouTube’s answer to Spotify Wrapped.

Recap debuted yesterday in North America and will roll out globally this week. It includes music, but doesn’t replace YouTube’s Music Recap, and it mirrors a lot of what Spotify does with Wrapped:

You’ll see your top channels, artists, and the evolution of your viewing habits. You’ll also be assigned a “personality type” engineered for screenshotting and sharing.
Those made-up personae reflect your content preferences and include The Sunshiner (good vibes), The Trailblazer (unique tastes), and The Connector (not explained, but probably someone who watches mostly Connect Four videos).

Beating the rush: Recap arrived the same day as Apple Music’s Replay and Amazon Music’s Delivered, in what seems to be an attempt to get ahead of Spotify Wrapped, which came out on Dec. 4 last year and will likely dominate your social feeds soon.

YouTube listened: Big names on the platform, like Marques Brownlee and Hank Green, have long asked for a year-end video recap. If only they would also clamor for Taco Bell Wrapped, so we can see how many burritos we’ve eaten in 2025.—DL
